On 8-12-16 the San Jose Mercury reported “In a decision cheered by affordable-housing advocates, a petition by the Colonial Mobile Manor park owner to raise the rent above what is allowed in the city’s Mobilehome Rent Ordinance has been denied.” San Jose mobile park residents celebrating victory after hearing officer rules against space rent increase – The Mercury News The article went on to say, “The decision in the case, which had drawn attention from the City Council, comes at a time when the skyrocketing cost in the rental market is one of Silicon Valley’s hot-button issues.” That was 2016. The Park owner appealed that decision in Superior Court and FOUR YEARS LATER he got his blood money: an additional $45.06 per month plus the 3% allowed by the City. He had already gotten an additional $46.30 plus the 3% in an earlier Petition for Fair Return (PFR). Peter Wang, the owner of Colonial Manor, was the first Park owner in the history of San Jose to file back to back PFRs, first in 2012 and then again in 2013. The low to moderate income Seniors in this Park therefore got a total increase of $91.36 per month, plus the 3%.
  • The San Francisco Bay Area, California

    The San Francisco Bay Area, California

    The San Francisco Bay Area, Can disaster be a good thing for the arts? In the California San Francisco Bay Area, the answer is a qualified “yes.” A terrible earthquake has shaken loose mil- lions of dollars for the arts, while urban sprawl has boosted the development of arts centers right in the communities where people live. After the Loma Prieta earthquake struck in 1989, many key institutions were declared unsafe and had to be closed, fixed and primped. Here’s what reopened in the past five years alone: American Conservatory Theatre (ACT), the city’s major repertory theater, for $27 million; the War Memorial Opera House, home of the San Francisco Opera and Ballet, for $88 million; and on the fine arts front, the California Palace of the Legion of Honor, for $40 million; and the Cantor Center for the Visual Arts at Stanford University, for $37 million. Another $130 million is being raised to rebuild the seismically crippled M.H. de Young Memorial Museum, and at least $30 million is being sought to repair the Berkeley Art Museum. Within San Francisco itself, a vital visual arts center has been forged just within the last five years with the opening of the new $62 million San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts. Meanwhile the Jewish Museum, the Asian Art Museum, the Mexican Museum and a new African-American cultural center all plan to move to seismically safe buildings in the area in the next two years. Art galleries, on the other hand, limp along compared with those in Los Angeles or New York.

The panel includes scholars from three countries. It includes a blend of graduate students and faculty spanning the assistant, associate and full professor level. It is also diverse in terms of discipline, representing scholars working in departments of information studies, business communications, computer science, history of science, and science policy. Session Abstract: Materiality Meets Practice Computers are things and people manipulate them with their bodies. Information cannot exist without a physical medium. Communication is a material process. But writing on the history of information technology has tended to abstract away from the tangible and material. Rarely do we learn about the experience of using a particular machine, the layout of a computer center, or the issues involved in producing and assembling computer systems. But recent interest in materiality as a concept in science studies (associated particularly with the recent volume Living in a Material World edited by Pinch and Swedberg) challenges us to respect the fundamental importance of stuff to the history of technology (and allied fields such as labor history).

    About a Quarter of Large U.S. Newspapers Laid Off Staff in 2018

    EMBARGOED COPY – NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION OR PUBLICATION UNTIL 9:30 A.M. EDT, AUG. 1, 2019 About a quarter of large U.S. newspapers laid off staff in 2018 BY ELIZABETH GRIECO Layoffs continue to pummel staff at U.S. newspapers. Roughly a quarter of papers with an average Sunday circulation of 50,000 or more experienced layoffs in 2018, according to a new Pew Research Center analysis. The layoffs come on top of the roughly one-third of papers in the same circulation range that experienced layoffs in 2017. What’s more, the number of jobs typically cut by newspapers in 2018 tended to be higher than in the year before. Mid-market newspapers were the most likely to suffer layoffs in 2018 – unlike in 2017, when the largest papers most frequently saw cutbacks. Meanwhile, digital-native news outlets also faced continued layoffs: In 2018, 14% of the highest- traffic digital-native news outlets went through layoffs, down slightly from one-in-five in 2017. The following analysis examines layoffs at large newspapers and digital-native news outlets during the full 2017 and 2018 calendar years. An earlier analysis by the Center looked at layoffs at news organizations covering the period from January 2017 to April 2018. Roughly a third of newspapers that had layoffs in 2018 saw multiple rounds About one-in-four U.S. newspapers with an average Sunday circulation of 50,000 or higher (27%) experienced one or more publicly reported layoffs in 2018, according to the study, which examined EMBARGOED COPY – NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION OR PUBLICATION UNTIL 9:30 A.M.
